Blogging

I have officially decided that I am not a blogger.
I am a wanna-be.
See real bloggers have causes, or are well read, or keep up on current events, or have deep thoughts.
I don't aggressively have any celebrity type causes that I support openly.
I am not currently well read. Though this may have been true at one point in time, esp in relation to my age and status, it is currently deplorably inaccurate. I wish it were true, but I cannot lie. I have not been well-read in many years.
I do not keep up on current events. Well, not entirely. It is true that I often catch a little of what is going on in the news while I am working and the TV is on. I also do sometimes read the random yahoo articles on my homepage, and yes, I do every week or so look a Ugandan newspaper up online and read the articles... but in general I care very little that the capital is under 5 feet of snow and freaking out like little girls, or that Obama is dropping percentage points in approval poles by the day, or what-have-you.
I do sometimes have deep thoughts it is true. But my memory these days I am afraid is closer to that of some of my 90 year old residents. By the time that I get home at night I have completely forgotten any and every good decent deep thought I had that day. Instead my mind will likely be consumed with whether or not it is acceptable to eat a cereal entitled "Blueberry Morning" anytime besides the morning...
So you see I am not a real blogger. My uncle is a real blogger. Though I very seldom agree with his opinions on things, he is very passionate about his causes, well read on current events, and thinks things through deeply. And he can write a story that will leave you in stitches.
I am merely a wanna-be.
But I guess that is okay. I don't mind. And I very highly doubt that the 3 people that read my blog care very much either.
I write because I LIKE to write. And until that changes, I will remain, very respectfully yours... Jo-wanna-be-blogger!
